Should I attach a credit card to my checking account?

16 years 4 months ago
Do you guys think that attaching the credit card to the checking or saving account? I'm planning to get a credit card from the bank I have my checking account with but not sure if I should authorise them to withdraw from my account whenever the payment is due. They are saying that this arrangement would free me from the hassle of paying bills everytime. Has anyone used this service before? Can they debit my account for wrong reasons too?

Student loan default and credit score

16 years 4 months ago
I have defaulted on my student loan earlier last year. It has taken a severe toll on my credit score. My score is now at the lower 500 range. What can I do to improve it? I'm considering going back to school and for that I???d need another student loan. Can I qualify for another loan when I've defaulted on the existing one? Hope you can direct me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.

Do-it-myself or Debt Settlement company?

16 years 4 months ago
I just found this site last night. Thanks for all the insight. My husband & I just signed up with a Debt Settlement Co. My husband was injured, had surgery, has been out of work for 6 months. I took a pay decrease (government mandated) & health insurance premiums went up. Drained savings & paying minimum on credit cards for some time now including my husband's 2 business cc. The business is closed, has a no money. We can't do it anymore...cc raised apr's. Drowning. Tried DMP but can't afford the monthly amount. DS seems to be our only way to survive. BUT, the fees are outrageous.

16 years 4 months ago
I am preparing to take RJM to small claims court for reporting a debt that they failed to validate. I recently noticed that the "factoring company" classification entry in the listing. Can someone tell me if this is correct? RJM claims that I had a Wachovia account that was overdrawn and this is the debt that they are trying to collect.
